About TaxValet

We’re not just a tax company. We’re an emotions company. We believe that the work we do is a reflection of our higher purpose in life. And if the work isn’t fulfilling and enjoyable, what’s the point? At our company, our Core Purpose is to “transform negative emotions into something positive for our clients, partners, and each other”. It just so happens that we do that by eliminating the hassle and stress of sales tax. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and want to work towards our Core Purpose, too.

As a fractional sales tax department, TaxValet handles everything for clients, from nexus analysis to permit registrations, filings, audit support, and more. Unlike traditional sales tax software that overpromises and underdelivers, we provide a comprehensive, custom-tailored solution that grows with our clients' businesses. And unlike traditional professional service firms, we offer an all-inclusive solution for a simple, predictable monthly rate with no billable hours. 

We're a fast-growing, fully remote, financially stable, and profitable business with an AWESOME team of 80-ish teammates. We're building a world-class fractional sales tax department, and new team members will be part of the reason why.

As a certified B-Corporation, TaxValet is committed to using business as a force for good. This means we consider the impact of our decisions on our team, clients, community, and environment. We're also a "give 1%" organization, dedicating 1% of profit, employee time, and service time to nonprofits.

We are a core-value-driven business. That means we hire, promote, and reward based on alignment with our core values:

• Feel It: We value connecting with the real emotions and experiences of others. We also value respectfully sharing our own real emotions and experiences with others.
• Shape It: We proactively contribute our ideas and talents by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and taking calculated risks to shape our future.
• Own It: We take full responsibility for our actions, decisions, and outcomes. We use both successes and failures as opportunities for growth, openly sharing lessons learned.
• Crush It: We relentlessly pursue exponential impact in our business and life.
• Question It: Be curious. Ask questions. Seek clarity in the pursuit of continuous improvement and excellence. Create a culture of fearless inquiry.

If you're enthusiastic about transforming negative emotions into something positive and want to work towards our Core Purpose, we'd love to hear from you!

Title: Sales Tax Analyst (known internally as our New Client Onboarding Specialist)

Location: 100% REMOTE (USA)

About The Role

TaxValet is looking for a multifaceted teammate to join our new client onboarding team who excels at problem solving, finding creative solutions and supporting clients with complex issues. At TaxValet, we are fanatical about our clients having an incredible first impression working with us. And if you join us, you’ll be a big part of the reason why. So, if you are the type of person who loves digging into and analyzing a spreadsheet, but also enjoys connecting with people - keep reading!

The purpose of the Sales Tax Analyst (internally referred to as a New Client Onboarding Specialist) is to get clients totally set up within our systems so that the Sales Tax Filing Team can begin submitting their sales tax filings (this role does not manage filing returns). Lots of training will be provided.

This role typically involves analyzing client data and performing research to provide an analysis of sales tax nexus and ensuring the clients’ tax systems are set up to our high standards of excellence. You’ll be working closely with external clients, as well as working closely with internal teammates. 

This is a unique opportunity for those unique people who love diving into the nitty-gritty of a detailed spreadsheet, and are simultaneously outgoing and love to connect with people. 

In time, you’ll be considered a sales tax expert and someone that many will turn to when looking for advice. 

Don’t worry—we’ll provide lots of sales tax training and help along the way. Your attitude and potential are much more important than your current knowledge and experience.
